§ Mr. FLAVINasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland when the Estates Commissioners would send an inspector on the Ramsden estate at Beal-killa, near Listowel, North Kerry; and when would the holding be vested in the tenants after inspection?
§ The CHIEF SECRETARY for IRELAND (Mr. Birrell)The purchase agreements in connection with the sale of this estate were not lodged until October, 1908. Having regard to the very large number of cases pending before them in which the agreements for purchase were lodged at an earlier date, the Estates Commissioners cannot at present say when this estate will be dealt with.
§ Mr. FLAVINThere being 150 tenants on the estate, will there be an inspection before the vesting order is issued?
§ Mr. BIRRELLYes.
